    It would be awesome to have all of those masks already prepared to use when needed because the major problem is the lack of time, which affect the entire process of the relaxing mask.. but well I am going to find a perfect day to try on of this, maybe the last one sound very smoothing

    I’ve never heard of blue algae in a mask, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in the stores. I really like that mask, probably most of all, do you have any idea where we could get it? Is it available in most stores, or do you have to order it online? We just moved to Alaska, so we don’t have big selections in our stores, but I’ll see if I can find it.
